I have a question about how Figma/dev tool works. I'm a web developer and have a Figma Professional subscription with Dev Mode included ofc. A UX designer shared their project with me, but when I try to use Dev Mode on the shared project, I get a message saying that I need special permission or a Dev Mode request from the admin and that my account is restricted. Can you tell me what's going on?

Figma plans are team-based, not account-based. You need to duplicate this file in your Professional team, so you will be able to use dev mode there.

​Hi ​@Nellya , thank you for the response. I tried to duplicate it in my professional team, but I still get a very restricted access dev-mode wise. For example. I can’t see specific paddings, or the border box of some photos nad so on.

Hi. Not sure why it's happening, try to hold the ALT key and hover the element to see the paddings. Also, this article may help → https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/15023124644247-Guide-to-Dev-Mode
